Introduction to New Podcasts
The world of entertainment has just gotten more exciting with the launch of new podcasts. Comedian and actress Amy Poehler has started a podcast called Good Hang, where she chats with her friends and colleagues from the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, British politician and diplomat Rory Stewart has launched a podcast called The Long History of Heroism, where he explores the concept of heroism throughout history.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Amy Poehler’s podcast, Good Hang, is a fun and entertaining show where she talks to her friends and colleagues about their careers, families, and well-being. With her typical humor and infectious laugh, Poehler disarms her guests and gets them to open up about their lives. The show has already featured guests like Tina Fey, Martin Short, Dakota Johnson, and Michelle Obama. Good Hang is a must-listen for anyone who loves comedy and wants to get a glimpse into the lives of their favorite celebrities.
The Long History of Heroism
Rory Stewart’s podcast, The Long History of Heroism, is a more serious and thought-provoking show that explores the concept of heroism throughout history. Stewart starts by admitting that he used to want to be a hero like Alexander the Great, but as he grew older, he realized that the concept of heroism is more complex than he thought. The podcast takes listeners on a journey through over 3,000 years of history, from ancient Greece to modern times, and features guests like Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky. Stewart asks important questions about what it means to be a hero in today’s world and whether the concept of heroism has been lost in the age of superheroes and social media.
How to Listen
Both podcasts are available to listen to online. Good Hang can be found on The Ringer, YouTube, or Spotify, while The Long History of Heroism can be found on BBC Sounds in the UK or on the BBC website outside of the UK.
